How about its automatic operation: Just fill the hopper every 24 hours, set the
heat level you want in your home and start enjoying home heating savings.

Yes. Pellet stoves are designed to burn pellet fuel with the highest level of
efficiency possible, reducing heat loss and emissions to a minimum. Pellet

floor protection if the stove is placed on a combustible floor surface.

I safely leave the stove running while I’m away from home?

Do pellet stoves in Reno need to be cleaned by a professional?

newer pellet stoves are very easy to clean. Any one of our technicians will
teach you to clean, operate and maintain your stove. Or If you prefer, join our
comfort club and we’ll service it every year you’re a member.
Q:
Do pellet stoves in Reno require electricity to operate?
A: Yes.
Pellet stoves use electricity to provide the automatic feed and combustion air,
which ensures the stove will operate cleanly and with high efficiency.

What are the pellets made from and how do I get them?

pellet fuel is made from clean wood waste residue resulting from the wood
product manufacturing activity. The pellets are packaged in easy-to-handle 40
lb.-bags. We can easily supply you with them for all pellet stoves in Reno.
Q:
Where will I store the pellets?
A:
Pellets can be stored under cover in an outdoor area, in the garage or

protect the bags from rain and snow
